 Itinerary – Fes

Day 1 (Arrival):
	· Arrived from Chefchaouen 
	· Quick roadside tour of new Fes thanks to a few “wrong turns”
	· Checked into a stunning riad where even the tiles are works of art
	· Got a private whirlwind tour through the old medina, led like a donkey to market:
	· Visited the tanneries, widows’ carpet market, Koran school, camel head butchers, and aloe silk spinners
	· Saw the world’s oldest continuously operating university
	· Explored the tomb of Fes’s founder, wet markets, herborists, woodworkers, and more
	· Ended dazed and covered in spices, sweat, and awe

Day 2 (Friday, rest day):
	· Started slow with a terrace breakfast
	· Visited the Jewish Quarter (Mellah) and sat for an hour-long lecture in a historic synagogue
	· Spoke about history, heritage, and language with the hotelier guide
	· Stopped at a ceramics co-op, then a veterinary clinic for donkeys built by an American in the 1940s
	· Strolled through Fes’s Royal Palace (gardens closed, but still regal)
	· Returned for a swim in the hotel’s ornate pool…ripped swim trunks and all
	· Slid across glazed tile like a wet-footed rhino

🏨 Accommodation


Riad Rcif – A 14th-century palace turned into a luxurious labyrinth. Indoor pool with bronze lions, grand mosaic halls, and a rooftop that gives you a front-row seat to the call to prayer (and weddings). Staffed by helpful guides, attentive servers, and friendly faces.

🍽️ Food Recommendations

	· Sardonic dinner scenes featuring:

📌 Tips
	· Get a guide—it’s a sensory overload otherwise
	· Ignore the “Ali Baba” jokes unless they come with good food or a bargain
	· “La shukran” = survival
	· Fes is steeped in tradition. Every alley holds a story, every rooftop has a stork, and every spice stall hides a history lesson
	· Watch your step. And your stomach.

Fabulously Festive Fes

摩洛哥第二大城市,四大皇城之一的菲斯,仿佛穿越到中世紀。於1981年被聯合國科教文組織指定為「世界文化遺產」。
古城擁有9000多條縱橫交錯街巷的古城如同一個巨大的迷宮,到處都是傳統手工業:染色作坊、皮革加工廠、各種手工作坊、服裝定制店、餐廳、肉店、菜攤等傳統手工加工店,780多個大小清真寺。老城內的卡拉維因大學建於公元862年,被喻為世界上第一所大學
